All G-wagens are stupid money. This doesn’t look like a drug dealer car. It’s great.

My friend with the 944 Turbo has been restoring a G-wagen for a fair few years - he bought it cheap like this




Bearing in mind it took him a few years to get his 944 up to scratch I think the Nerc should be finished in a couple of years

Can't say I've been a fan of them. Probably related to being bounced around in the back of a military spec 240D one, that while not fast felt dangerous.

Is correct.

I don't get the pricing though, but then lots of stuff is stupid money these days

You can get decent looking late 80s/early 90’s 2 door ones for around 30-40k, the performance will be 0-60 in about 4-6 working days but if you want a retro looking g wagon why pay over £100,000 more just to pootle around London at 25mph

Road of Porsches on the way to Belgravia - a 918 being driven!, along with a 993 and a 928 S(?) with the reg 1 JO..

ETA - that’s my order of preference aswell, I think

The 2 door G Wagons never looked right, a 5 door station wagon please.

A late 80s one with a tuned OM606 in would be a fantastic practical forever car if you start with a non rotten shell.

Dave!

I was beginning to think nobody was buying non-63 G Wagons but I saw a G350d and a G500 this morning.

There seemed to be an inordinate amount of them around Cheltenham a couple of years ago but it appears they have mostly moved on to Defenders.

I see the appeal of the amg ones for their absurdity, but I don’t want one, nor any other g wagon

My friend paid a fraction of that for his - he sends me pics of the resto from time to time and I’m sure he’ll do it well







I’m more interested in sporty motors so we usually end up talking about them

Shame he’s painted it black - the colour scheme was the best thing about it!

Thanks, been a while since I've posted here.

Not-quite-spots from the supercar dealer down the road. Last time I walked by there was a 918 Spyder, Chiron, Veyron, Carrera GT and a very purple McLaren in the showroom among more pedestrian things like GT40s, assorted Lambos, Ferraris, and so on.

More interesting was a black widebody XJ-S with the double round headlights going the opposite way on the M20.

Best looking hot hatch bar none? Think it might be my number one.

I think that was just a prep coat - he’s keeping the original colour AFAIK

What could go wrong with a £15k V8 Vantage?
